Privacy Policy & Data Processing

Personal data processing in full compliance with Dominican Republic Law No. 172-13

At Enllava, we respect your privacy and protect your personal data. This Policy explains what data we collect, how we process it, and your rights under Dominican Law No. 172-13 on Comprehensive Personal Data Protection.

1. Data Controller

Enllava (enllava.com), operated in the Dominican Republic, is the data controller responsible for personal information collected through the website, contact forms, listings, and customer support channels.

For inquiries or to exercise your data protection rights, you can contact our privacy team via email or our official WhatsApp support channel.

  • Account & Profile Data: Full name, email address, phone/WhatsApp number, profile photo, and preferences via email registration or Google OAuth.
  • Vehicle Listing Data: Make, model, year, price in DOP/USD, mileage, transmission, fuel, province/municipality, photographs, and condition (without publishing private VIN numbers or full license plates).

3. Legitimate Purposes for Data Processing

We process personal data solely for legitimate purposes:

  • Facilitating direct WhatsApp and phone introductions between prospective buyers and sellers, dealers, or agencies.
  • Verifying identity and asset documentation when a verification tier is requested.
  • Providing user support, answering questions, and preventing fraud or impersonation on the platform.

We apply technical and organizational security controls:

  • Row Level Security (RLS): Database-level PostgreSQL policies ensure users can only access their own private data.
  • Private Encrypted Storage for Documents: Identity, vehicle title, and RNC verification documents are stored in private buckets accessible only by authorized evaluators via time-limited signed URLs.
  • Encryption in Transit: All website traffic is secured with SSL/TLS HTTPS encryption.

6. Technology Providers and Cloud Infrastructure

We partner with enterprise cloud providers (Supabase for auth and database, Vercel for hosting, Sentry for technical reliability) who act as data processors under strict security and confidentiality commitments.
